Dear Fur Angel Tory~

I defy anyone to read your Daddy's love filled tribute to his beloved girl, his heart dog, and not shed a tear. What a beautiful Chi baby you were, sweetheart; a mere 7lbs but oh, didn't you pack a ton of love and devotion into that tiny frame; a truly gentle soul, that you were. And now, having earned your angel wings, your beautiful spirit lights up the heavens as you patiently wait for that happy day of reunion when you and your Daddy are together once more.

Thank you, Tory, for sending your Daddy a sign, for guiding Iris his way to help heal his heart and comfort him as he grieved. You may no longer be there with him in the flesh, riding his shoulder, the two of you sharing a walk. But forever and always, right beside Iris, you live on his heart, never to be forgotten.

The signs from her in the afterlife started about a month later after my grief began to subside. That is what continued to make her special in her afterlife. There have been amazing cloud formations that appeared that looked like her, and even one cloud that took up the entire sky and has the dark area of both Tory and Iris - the puppy she "sent" me after she passed - being at her right side.
How very blessed your Daddy was, Tory, having known your love and unwavering devotion those many years. You truly were, and remain, his best friend, his furry soulmate, his Dog of a Lifetime.

To Tory's Daddy~

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful girl with us, your cherished memories and so many heart-melting photos. It's been an honor, having the chance to pay tribute to her and the beautiful bond of love you and she shared. Having been a Daddy's girl myself, I know first hand how extra special that father/daughter bond is. I can only imagine how much you miss your precious Tory. But I hope seeing her being memorialized here today brings you some comfort. Most of all, I hope for you and Iris many, many wonderful years of shared love and companionship. Through her your beloved Tory lives on...

"The star, that gives us light, has been gone a while, but it's not an illusion ... the ache in my heart, is so much a part of who I am, hold me close, something in your eyes took a thousand years to get here, hold me close, the time just lets us see who we are, I've got your life inside of me. Iris, Iris. Once we are born, we begin to forget the very reason we came, we'll be meeting up again, hold me close and don't let me go."
